Description

BACKGROUND Technical Field
• The present invention belongs to the field of processing residual stress, and more particularly relates to a method for calculating processing parameters for residual stress control by parameter inversion.
Description of Related Art
• The residual stress distribution of the processed surface layer of the workpiece has a significant influence on the anti-corrosion and anti-fatigue life of the part. The surface residual tensile stress can easily induce corrosion fatigue crack propagation, thereby reducing the service life of the part; and the surface residual compressive stress is beneficial to mitigation of the corrosion fatigue crack propagation, thereby prolonging the service life of the part. When the processing step is the last step, the residual stress distribution in the processed surface layer has a direct impact on the service life of the part, and the processing residual stress distribution is affected by the processing parameters (including tool parameters). For example, for cutting processing, the residual stress distribution caused by different cutting speeds, feed rates, cutting depths, and tool rake angles are different; and for grinding processing, the residual stress distribution caused by different grinding speeds, feed rates, grinding depths, grinding wheel grain sizes and so on are also different. At present, a large number of literatures have studied the effect of different processing parameters on the residual stress distribution from theoretical modeling and experimental measurements, and to a certain extent, prediction of the residual stress distribution is achieved by the use of processing parameters and material properties.
• With a certain residual stress distribution, the anti-corrosion and anti-fatigue life of the workpiece can be estimated through experiments, so that it can be judged which kind of residual stress distribution is most beneficial to the anti-corrosion and anti-fatigue life. However, it has not yet been reported how to achieve this residual stress distribution which is most beneficial to the anti-corrosion and anti-fatigue life though processing. Theoretically, a specific combination of processing parameters can only give a specific residual stress distribution, but a specific residual stress distribution can correspond to countless combinations of processing parameters. How to solve such kind of "one-to-many" mapping relationship from residual stress to processing parameters is the key problem in achieving the required residual stress distribution by processing, and achievement of the required residual stress by processing is called control of the processing residual stress. In fact, in order to increase the residual compressive stress, special process methods such as shot peening and heat treatment can be used. However, these processing methods can only qualitatively control the residual stress. When these processing methods are actually adopted, relevant processing parameters are also involved, and it still has to be faced with how to set the processing parameters to quantitatively control the residual stress and obtain the required residual stress distribution. At present, the method of controlling the residual stress through processing mainly includes a test method in which a set of processing parameters are first set according to experience, then the set of processing parameters are used for trial processing, and the residual stress distribution is measured after the processing to determine whether it meets the demand; if the demand is not met, the processing parameters are regulated and trial processing is performed again, so that the cycle repeats until the required residual stress distribution is obtained. This test method requires a lot of human, material and financial resources, and when the workpiece material changes, the test method needs to be used again to find suitable processing parameters, which further increases the cost for residual stress control.

  and $$\mathit{Drs}\left(\mathit{tc}\right)=74.3e^{1.945\ast \mathit{tc}}-50.43e^{-7.369\ast \mathit{tc}}.$$

  
• (c) the effects of multiple processing parameters on the characteristic index of the residual stress curve are regarded to be linearly superimposed, and by taking the superimposed characteristic indexes of the residual stress curves and their increments as a parameter matrix M, establishing a system of linear equations expressing the relation among the characteristic indexes according to linear inversion equations: G·M = F, where G represents a coefficient matrix, and F represents observation data (i.e., a constant term). Taking the cutting residual stress as an example, increments of Drs resulting from the cutting speed and the feed rate are respectively ΔDrs^V = Drs(V)-H(V ₀ ,t _c0) and ΔDrs^tc = Drs(t_c )-H(V ₀ ,t _c0), and then the total increment (linear superposition) of Drs resulting from the cutting speed and the feed rate is ΔD_rs = ΔDrs^V + ΔDrs^tc , where ΔDrs can also be expressed as ΔDrs = Drs - H(V ₀ ,t _c0). Except the variable H(V ₀,t _c0), other six variables ΔDrs^V, ΔDrs^tc , Drs(V), Drs(tc), ΔD_rs and Drs in the above four formulas are regarded as parameters, and then the four formulas can be combined into a system of linear equations: $$\begin{array}{cccccccc}\mathrm{\Delta }\mathit{Drs}& \mathrm{\Delta }{\mathit{Drs}}^{\mathit{tc}}& \mathrm{\Delta }{\mathit{Drs}}^V& \mathit{Drs}& \mathit{Drs}\left(t_c\right)& \mathit{Drs}\left(V\right)& H\left(t_{c0},{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="0"\; label="V"\; filenames="imgf0002.png,imgf0003.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">V</figure-callout>}}_0\right)& \mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="Constant\; term"\; filenames="imgf0005.png,imgf0009.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">Constant</figure-callout>}\mathrm{term}\\ 1& -1& -1& 0& 0& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 1& 0& 0& -1& 0& 1& 0\\ 0& 0& 1& 0& 0& -1& 1& 0\\ 1& 0& 0& -1& 0& 0& 1& 0\end{array}$$

  
• The above system of linear equations is expressed in a form of a matrix G·M = F as follow: $$\left(\begin{array}{ccccccc}1& -1& -1& 0& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 1& 0& 0& -1& 0& 1\\ 0& 0& 1& 0& 0& -1& 1\\ 1& 0& 0& -1& 0& 0& 1\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{\Delta }\mathit{Drs}\\ \mathrm{\Delta }{\mathit{Drs}}^{\mathit{tc}}\\ \mathrm{\Delta }{\mathit{Drs}}^V\\ \mathit{Drs}\\ \mathit{Drs}\left(t_c\right)\\ \mathit{Drs}\left(V\right)\\ H\left(t_{c0},{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="0"\; label="V"\; filenames="imgf0002.png,imgf0003.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">V</figure-callout>}}_0\right)\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}0\\ 0\\ 0\\ 0\end{array}\right)$$

  
• (d) since the number of equations in the system of linear equations (2) obtained in the previous step is 4 and the number of parameters is 6, the system of linear equations has infinitely many solutions. In order to obtain a unique solution, known conditions need to be added into the system of linear equations so that the number of equations is equal to the number of parameters. The additional known conditions are: (I) a specific value of the characteristic index of the required residual stress distribution curve, and (II) allocation of the specific value to different processing parameters. The additional known conditions must be such that the number of the above equations is equal to the number of parameters. Taking the cutting residual stress as an example, it is required that the maximum residual compressive stress depth in the surface layer after machining is Drs = C ₀; since Drs can be affected by the cutting speed and the feed rate at the same time, the increment of Drs resulting from the feed rate can be set as ΔDrs^tc = C ₁ (or the increment of Drs resulting from the cutting speed can be set as ΔDrs^V = C ₂). Thus, two known conditions are added into the system of linear equations (2): $$\left(\begin{array}{cccccccc}\mathrm{\Delta }\mathit{Drs}& \mathrm{\Delta }{\mathit{Drs}}^{\mathit{tc}}& \mathrm{\Delta }{\mathit{Drs}}^V& \mathit{Drs}& \mathit{Drs}\left(t_c\right)& \mathit{Drs}\left(V\right)& H\left(t_{c0},{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="0"\; label="V"\; filenames="imgf0002.png,imgf0003.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">V</figure-callout>}}_0\right)& \mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="Constant\; term"\; filenames="imgf0005.png,imgf0009.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">Constant</figure-callout>}\mathrm{term}\\ 1& -1& -1& 0& 0& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 1& 0& 0& -1& 0& 1& 0\\ 0& 0& 1& 0& 0& -1& 1& 0\\ 1& 0& 0& -1& 0& 0& 1& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 1& 0& 0& 0& {\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="0"\; label="C"\; filenames="imgf0002.png,imgf0003.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">C</figure-callout>}}_0\\ 0& 1& 0& 0& 0& 0& 0& {\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="C"\; filenames="imgf0005.png,imgf0009.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">C</figure-callout>}}_1\end{array}\right)$$

  
• The above system of linear equations is expressed in a form of a matrix G·M = F as follow: $$\left(\begin{array}{ccccccc}1& -1& -1& 0& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 1& 0& 0& -1& 0& 1\\ 0& 0& 1& 0& 0& -1& 1\\ 1& 0& 0& -1& 0& 0& 1\\ 0& 0& 0& 1& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 1& 0& 0& 0& 0& 0\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{\Delta }\mathit{Drs}\\ \mathrm{\Delta }{\mathit{Drs}}^{\mathit{tc}}\\ \mathrm{\Delta }{\mathit{Drs}}^V\\ \mathit{Drs}\\ \mathit{Drs}\left(t_c\right)\\ \mathit{Drs}\left(V\right)\\ H\left(t_{c0},{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="0"\; label="V"\; filenames="imgf0002.png,imgf0003.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">V</figure-callout>}}_0\right)\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}0\\ 0\\ 0\\ 0\\ C_0\\ {\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="C"\; filenames="imgf0005.png,imgf0009.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">C</figure-callout>}}_1\end{array}\right)$$

  
• The system of linear equations (4) has a unique solution and can be solved as follows: $$\begin{array}{l}\mathit{Drs}\left(t_c\right)=H\left(t_{c0},{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="0"\; label="V"\; filenames="imgf0002.png,imgf0003.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">V</figure-callout>}}_0\right)+{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="C"\; filenames="imgf0005.png,imgf0009.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">C</figure-callout>}}_1\\ \mathit{Drs}\left(V\right)={\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="0"\; label="C"\; filenames="imgf0002.png,imgf0003.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">C</figure-callout>}}_0-{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="C"\; filenames="imgf0005.png,imgf0009.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">C</figure-callout>}}_1\end{array}$$

  
• It can be seen that if C ₁ is regarded as a variable and Drs(V) and Drs(t_c ) are regarded as functions, their relationship can be represented by straight lines. Fig. 7 is a graph of Drs(V) and Drs(t_c ) of the residual stress over C ₁ according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 7, the dash and dot line perpendicular to the C ₁ axis respectively intersects function graph lines of Drs(V) and Drs(t_c ) at points A and B, indicating that when C ₀, C ₁ and H(V ₀,t _c0) are determined, values of Drs(V) and Drs(t_c ) can be uniquely determined. Thus, according to the cutting conditions in step (2), it can be calculated that H(V₀ ,t _c0) = 79µm, and for the required Drs = C ₀, it is set that C ₀ = 100µm. There are several situations in determination of C ₁:
1. a) if ΔD_rs is individually allocated to ΔDrs^tc , ΔDrs^tc = C ₁ = 21µm, ΔDrs^V = 0µm;
2. b) if ΔD_rs is individually allocated to ΔDrs^V , ΔDrs^tc = C ₁ = 0µm, ΔDrs^V = 21µm;
3. c) if ΔDrs is equally allocated to ΔDrs^tc and ΔDrs^V , ΔDrs^tc = C ₁ = 10.5µm, ΔDrs^V = 10.5µm; and
4. d) if ΔDrs is randomly allocated to ΔDrs^tc and ΔDrs^V , for example, ΔDrs^tc = C ₁ = 16µm, then ΔDrs^V = 5µm.
• The assignments of C ₁ in these four situations will result in the following results of Drs(V) and Drs(t_c ) in four situations:
1. a) Drs(t_c ) = 100µm, Drs(V) = 79µm;
2. b) Drs(t_c ) = 79µm, Drs(V) = 100µm;
3. c) Drs(t_c ) = 89.5µm, Drs(V) = 89.5µm; and
4. d) Drs(t_c ) = 95µm, Drs(V) = 84µm.
• Finally, values of t_c and V in the four situations are calculated by the fitted formulas Drs(V) = 128e ^-0.04012*V +65.15e ^-0.002407*V and Drs(t_c ) = 74.3e ^1.945*tc - 50.43e ^-7.369*tc in the step (3):
1. a) t_c = 0.207mm, V = 60m/min ;
2. b) t_c = 0.11mm, V = 29.42m/min;
3. c) t_c = 0.172mm, V = 36.3m/min; and
4. d) t_c = 0.19mm, V = 40.7m/min.
• This is the final result obtained by using the set residual stress to calculate the processing parameters. In theory, the use of these calculated processing parameters during processing can achieve required processing residual stress distribution. Fig. 8 is a comparison diagram of a residual stress curve calculated at t_c = 0.207mm and V = 60m/min according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention and a residual stress curve experimentally measured according to the method provided in the present invention; Fig. 9 is a comparison diagram of a residual stress curve calculated at t_c = 0.11mm and V = 29.42m/min according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention and a residual stress curve experimentally measured according to the method provided in the present invention; Fig. 10 is a comparison diagram of a residual stress curve calculated at t_c = 0.172mm and V = 36.3m/min according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention and a residual stress curve experimentally measured according to the method provided in the present invention; and Fig. 11 is a comparison diagram of a residual stress curve calculated at t_c = 0.19mm and V = 40.7m/min according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention and a residual stress curve experimentally measured according to the method provided in the present invention. The comparison of the residual stress curve calculated by plugging processing parameters into the residual stress analytical model and the residual stress curve experimentally measured according to the method provided in the present invention is shown in Fig. 11. It can be seen that the characteristic indexes Drs of the calculated and experimentally measured residual stress curves are substantially in the vicinity of the desired value of 100µm, indicating that the proposed residual stress control method has a certain effect.
• The above is just described by taking the orthogonal cutting processing as an example, and the method of the present invention can be applicable to residual stress control of other processing methods such as forging, welding, laser processing, wire cutting, grinding, drilling, turning, milling, boring, shot peening and heat treatment.
